It is hard to experience the Thai culture from a 4 or 5 star resort hotel, so we searched for something with more of a local flavor. The Vera Nidhra B&B definitely fit the bill. Although we had all the amenities we could hope for (high speed WiFi, international news on the television, lots of power outlets for our hi-tech toys and chargers, in room tea, a comfortable and relaxing common area), the hotel is situated outside of the major hustle and bustle. The staff provided outstanding warmth and wonderful Thai hospitality and friendliness. Our flights to Bangkok were delayed but the staff caught our emails we sent immediately and went out of their way to accommodate our very late check-in. During our stay they provided documentation and maps to all the must see spots, and even helped us find some of the best local street food dining opportunities minus the tourist traps. Our departure was very early morning, so Gaby made sure there were sandwiches and juice in a bag in the fridge for us to take with us at no extra charge. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated with rustic wood. The shower and bathroom were large and spotless. Bottom line is that the hotel was perfect, and the entire staff was extremely friendly. I highly recommend this place for tourist travellers. I would not recommend it for business as the deskspace is too small for work.
